is there any way to deploy firebase functions faster?

[mInzamamMalik]

I have little project with about 20 firebase function
it takes about 4 minutes to deploy even if i deploy single function e.g: firebase deploy --only functions:webhook

[mInzamamMalik]

so everytime i deploy the function i have to wait 4 minutes to see it in action (and test it by performing google assistant query)

The short answer is no, but it is something we are aware of and are working on.

For development, you can test your functions locally without needing to redeploy: https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/local-emulator

Locally , you have to bloody restart the debugger if it something throws an exception. no hot reload feature or is there?
